Local Bakeries to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth In Three Bites or Less

There’s something about mini desserts that make us love them in such a big way. It could be that we convince ourselves that the bite size sweet packs few calories and that just one more bite will do no harm. Whatever the reason, we are totally enamored by these petite pastries and dug up five bakeries where you can satisfy your sweet tooth in three bites or less. Our love affair with these mini sweets just got even stronger.

Yummy CupcakeYummy Cupcake opened its doors last summer and has been serving up bite-sized (and full-sized) goodness in Encinitas ever since. Our favorite thing about this local bakery is the vast variety of flavors they offer each and every day. Check out their daily flavor calendar and pick from more than 17 flavors daily including gluten-free, sugar-free and vegan options.

What we’re sweet on: The pancakes and bacon mini cupcake. Yes, you read correctly, and it’s everything you can imagine and more.

Town BakeryWalk into this Del Mar bakery and your taste buds will squeal with delight. The bakery is cozy and nostalgic and offers all of your old school favorites. From whoopie pies to custom ice cream sandwiches this bakery has it all.

Sweet Cheeks BakerySweet Cheeks Bakery does not have a storefront, but they have a kitchen and tasting room and are definitely worth contacting if you’re planning a party or looking for the perfect customized dessert for a special event. We know a few LEGO fanatics who would flip over these adorable LEGO cookies.

Nothing Bundt The CakeThere’s something to be said for doing one thing really well. Nothing Bundt the Cake has perfected the bundt cake and we couldn’t be more grateful. Although the recipe for the cake stays the same the popular brand offers different sizes to accomodate all gatherings.

What we’re sweet on: The red velvet bundtini with signature cream cheese frosting. Make that a dozen please!
